d-Separation: From Theorems to Algorithms
نویسندگان
چکیده
An efficient algorithm is developed that identifies all independencies implied by the topology of a Baye sian network. Its correctness and maximality stems from the soundness and completeness of d separation with respect to probability theory. The al gorithm runs in time 0 (IE I ) where E is the number of edges in the network.

New separation theorems and sub-exponential time algorithms for packing and piercing of fat objects
For C a collection of n objects in R, let the packing and piercing numbers of C, denoted by Pack(C), and Pierce(C), respectively, be the largest number of pairwise disjoint objects in C, and the smallest number of points in R that are common to all elements of C, respectively. When elements of C are fat objects of arbitrary sizes, we derive sub-exponential time algorithms for the NP-hard proble...
متن کاملNew Results in Tropical Discrete Geometry
Following the recent work of Develin and Sturmfels and others (see, e.g., [10, 16, 2, 11]), we investigate discrete geometric questions over the tropical semiring (R, min, +). Specifically, we obtain the following tropical analogues of classical theorems in convex geometry: a separation theorem for a pair of disjoint tropical polytopes by tropical halfspaces and tropical versions of Radon’s lem...
متن کاملSome commutativity theorems for $*$-prime rings with $(sigma,tau)$-derivation
Let $R$ be a $*$-prime ring with center $Z(R)$, $d$ a non-zero $(sigma,tau)$-derivation of $R$ with associated automorphisms $sigma$ and $tau$ of $R$, such that $sigma$, $tau$ and $d$ commute with $'*'$. Suppose that $U$ is an ideal of $R$ such that $U^*=U$, and $C_{sigma,tau}={cin R~|~csigma(x)=tau(x)c~mbox{for~all}~xin R}.$ In the present paper, it is shown that if charac...

متن کاملA Polynomial Time Algorithm For Determining DAG Equivalence in the Presence of Latent Variables and Selection Bias
Following the terminology of Lauritzen et. al. (1990) say that a probability measure over a set of variables V satisfies the local directed Markov property for a directed acyclic graph (DAG) G with vertices V if and only if for every W in V, W is independent of the set of all its non-descendants conditional on the set of its parents. One natural question that arises with respect to DAGs is when...
